For today's MckLinky Monday on the RHOK Mrs. Montgomery wants to know our holiday/ Christmas traditions - Well, each year it seems we're always trying to balance all the families -My mom's side, dad's side, in -law's side -And we kind of alternate Thanksgiving and Christmas between them all So, each year it's a little different. One of the things we always seem to do sometime around the holidays is see some holiday lights though. Used to be that we'd take a trip to see my paternal Gma if not on Christmas itself (while visiting my dad's side ) then sometime around the holiday to see her, friends, and the light display in Muskogee (Garden of Lights and The Christmas Kingdom) -This is the 1st Christmas she hasn't been with us though -so, we didn't see those lights this year. But, we usually see a few light displays like Rhema -etc. This year we drove to see the Chandler Park Christmas lights and also walked around Rhema -Rhema we've done for the past few years -so, that seems to be our new Christmas light tradition -Of course I'm always up to see other displays too :) How about you -What are your holiday traditions? Be sure to join in the MckLinky Monday!

Awesome pics! It seems some traditions change when our Grandparents pass. My sister & I are trying to come up with some of our own traditions. We did not see any light displays this year :( Thanks for linking up today! Happy New Year!
